  • In Collaboration with CSTM/SCTM
    FEREN CON CE PROGRAM laboration with CSTM/ In col SCTM IC TM 2011 WE’RE PROUD TO WELCOME THE 41ST WORLD CONFERENCE OF ICTM to Memorial University and to St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. This is a unique corner of Canada, the only part that was once an independent country and then the newest Canadian province (since 1949) but one of the oldest meeting points for natives and new- comers in North America. With four Aboriginal cultures (Inuit, Innu, Mi’kmaq, Métis); deep French, English, Irish, and Scottish roots; and a rapidly diversifying contemporary society, our citizens have shared a dramatic history, including a tsunami, an occupation during WWII, a fragile dependence on the sea including a cod moratorium in recent decades, a key role in the events of 9/11, and more recently, an oil boom. Its nickname – The Rock – tells a lot about its spectacular geography but also about its resilient culture. Traditional music and dance are key ingredients in life here, as we hope you will learn in the week ahead. Our meetings will take place at Memorial University, shown in the foreground of the photo below, and in the Arts & Culture Centre just to the west of the campus. To celebrate the conference themes in music itself, and to bring the public in contact with the remarkable range of scholars and musicians in our midst, we have organized the SOUNDshift Festival to run concurrently with the World Conference of ICTM. Five concerts, open to delegates and the general public, workshops by ICTM members and musicians featured on the concerts, and films are available as part of this festival.

Dunderdale was echoing Natural Resources Minister Jerome Kennedy, who said Thursday that the whole hydroelectric project bolls down to the same two questions.

Critics have also raised any number of specific technical objections with the project and how the development deal Is structured. Most recently, project partner Emera said that energy prices In the 14-16 cent per kilowatt/hour range was too high, and they would never go forward with the project at those rates.

It may have contained a few tweets here and there but it was a speech Mr. Marshall has likely delivered during his tenures as Minister of Natural Resources and Minister of Finance. Former Premier Kathy Dunderdale, a native of Burin, was originally scheduled to be guest speaker but events during the second last week of January reshuffled the deck. Mr. Marshall, now the 11th Premier in Newfoundland and Labrador, said his speech to the Chamber’s annual general meeting was his first public address since being named worn to his new role Jan. 24. It excluded an appearance before the Newfoundland and Labrador Youth Parliament at the Legislature the first week of February. He likened the accomplishment of Marystown’s own Kaetlyn Osmond at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics as “one person stepping up to inspire others. “We all have that capacity to step up and I notice in our youth particularly a new attitude in Newfoundland and Labrador stemming from the province leading economic growth (in Canada).” He recapped one of the current government’s “boldest steps” in the development of the province’s energy resources.
